Can you set TWO $:/config tiddlers from one Select?

I made a simple Select to set “OutlineOffset” …

<$select tiddler='$:/config/BitmapEditor/OutlineOffset' default="GAP" tooltip='outline offset'>
 <option disabled>GAP</option>
 <option>0</option>
 <option>5px</option>
 <option>10px</option>
 <option>15px</option>
 <option>30px</option>
</$select>

But I also need to set the same value in “ImageMargin”.

Q: Is it possible to set BOTH from one Select?

Yes, you can set an action on the select widget. Perhaps after the selection you can assign the value selected and stored in $:/config/BitmapEditor/OutlineOffset to the additional location.

@BurningTreeC’s resizer solution/plugin includes a widget just for this kind of thing, and I believe also setting two tiddlers to the same value is possible.

Great! How?

I’m still struggling. Any clues appreciated.

I assume this is a field on the current tiddler?

This will do it.

\procedure action-set-tiddler()
<$action-setfield  ImageMargin={{$:/config/BitmapEditor/OutlineOffset}}/>
\end
<$select tiddler='$:/config/BitmapEditor/OutlineOffset' default="GAP" tooltip='outline offset' actions=<<action-set-tiddler>> >
 <option disabled>GAP</option>
 <option>0</option>
 <option>5px</option>
 <option>10px</option>
 <option>15px</option>
 <option>30px</option>
</$select>

Thanks! I understood it. FWIW, my final version …

\procedure action-set-tiddler()
<$action-setfield 
 $tiddler="$:/config/BitmapEditor/ImageMargin"
 $field="text" 
 $value={{$:/config/BitmapEditor/OutlineOffset}} />
\end
<$select ....
